So far:
Deftones - Gore Heron Oblivion - s/t Black Mountain - IV Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool Haken - Affinity Gojira - Magma David Bowie - Blackstar Steven Wilson - 4 1/2 The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail Oranssi Pazuzu - Varahtelija A few surprises this year! Heron Oblivion and Oranssi came out of nowhere for me, while Pineapple Thief and Radiohead release their best albums in years! Then add Deftones, Bowie and SWilson with Opeth still to go, and 2016 is looking to be a strong year!

Easily the Winstons debut album for me! An Italian trio overdosing on the early Soft Machine/Robert Wyatt/Supersister Canterbury sound albums as well as a healthy dose of early Pink Floyd. Just a knockout debut!

I just checked out a new album on the RAIG bandcamp site, Künstler sch***e by Alex's Hand:
Very nice indeed. I haven't made a proper list on this thread yet because I am woefully behind in hearing, let alone buying, all the promising stuff that is coming out. 2016 is throwing too much good music at me! Edited by Mascodagama - August 08 2016 at 13:38 |

Only listened to this over bandcamp but this young Brazilian is surely one to look out for in the upcoming years. He is one heck of a musician!!! (Too bad the drums sound like a 9 year old Mick Pointer
 )If you dig ELP, The Nice or any of those old school organ dominated pork jock bands, you're most likely going to adore this kid: |

I only know the new one but I'll be sure to check out the debut, thanks mate. The term nu-jazz sounds so incredibly boring and unfit when one considers the albums that have been made under the moniker. Xploding Plastix' Amateur Girlfriends Go Proskirt Agents fx is soooo far removed from "jazz" that simply putting a nu in front of it rather ends up denigrating an otherwise brilliant album. |

I had no idea they just toured Europe  Now I am curious to see if they popped by Denmark...or maybe not. I'd certainly come down with a huge case of depression if it turns out I actually had the chance to see them liveI'm not sure about anything pertaining to AOTY yet. Great year so far and if the past couple ones are anything to go by, then it'll probably go into hyperdrive the closer we get to the end of Dec/Jan. I hope my wallet can survive. |

With the new album I could definitely see them having a chance to get on the site. It's certainly got more 'rock' than the previous one, which was more in the nu jazz bracket. Though anyone who likes one will probably like the other, I reckon.

Bent Knee are top 3 on the year for me so far, they seem to have had a hugely successful European tour in the last month. I get spoilt seeing them regular in Boston. Looking forward to seeing them again at ProgDay.

Agreed. The debut though was a kind of cover album. Awo is comprised of tunes they've stitched together themselves. I really enjoy the Ethiopian touch to these guys. Feels like a more out there Rahmann with the add on of delirious vocals. |

Just thought of some others while eating a marvellous banana. I'll link the buggers so as we don't end up with this huge JooToob fest that takes a month to load
Fire! The Fire! Orchestra origin with Mats Gustaffson being his mad self on sax though on here fondled up nicely by a psychedelic-like ambience and some general weirdness to boot. Bent Knee Much preferred to a straight one. It is indeed true! It bends! Our Solar System Quite possibly the best new discovery of 2016. Druids doing Krautrock (and LSD). Kayo Dot What if David Sylvian and David Bowie had experimented with ayahuasca during the 80s? |

Thought I'd do a little advertising for a couple of releases (5) that really resonate with me:
Black Mountain Ulver Ukandanz Fire! Orchestra Kosmischer Läufer (and no it's probably not from 76) |
